On their last day on the 'Wild Rose' Rita and Fred start getting their packing done in preparation for the journey back down to Delhi tomorrow. Rita is not feeling well though and is very weak. There are increasing doubts as to whether she will be fit enough to make the arduous journey. With Sharon and Kath's agreement, they make contingency plans in case she is not well enough to make the trip.

"The idea would be for Rita to go to the airline office (with one or both of the girls) later on tomorrow and buy either a direct ticket to Bombay (cashing in the Delhi-Bombay part) for Saturday evening or a connecting flight from Srinagar to Delhi on Saturday afternoon."
